Supply chain management (SCM) is the process of
optimizing the shipment of goods and services from supplier to customer.
The goals of SCM are to optimize production, decrease manufacturing
time, minimize inventory, streamline order fulfillment and reduce cost.
Today's supply chains for mid and large companies span the globe, with
suppliers and partners in multiple countries and multiple time zones.
AMS has assembled a team of executive level experts
with a full spectrum of logistics experience. However, it is not
the logistics that sets this team above our competitors, it is there
understanding of the "quality" roots that SCM was born from. SCM
technology and software support is only one side of the solutions
picture. AMS believes that without the organizational design and
structure to support an enterprise effort it will surely fail.
AMS will work with your organization's SCM team to
help craft an organizational solution that will work.
The following are the basic components that comprise
supply chain management. Supply chain management software should handle
each of these well. But, the process and structure standing behind the
technology solution represents its underpinnings.
-
Planning
- Supply chain planning consists of developing benchmarks to monitor
the supply chain for optimal resource use, minimum total cost, and
maximum value to the customer.
-
Sourcing
- Supply chain sourcing entails developing the costing, inventory,
quality, shipping and payment methods with suppliers and associated
benchmarks for monitoring partner relationships.
-
Production
- This is the manufacturing step. Schedule the activities necessary
for production, testing, packaging and preparation for delivery. As
the most metric-intensive portion of the supply chain, measure
quality levels, production output and worker productivity.
-
Delivery Logistics
- This component of supply chain management deals with order
tracking and fulfillment, determining warehouse locations, fleet
management, and invoice processing. This can be quite a complex
operation to manage well.
-
Returns Processing
- The critical component of supply chain management that deals with
customer returns and customer support.
AMS can design a complete readiness assessment to help
your company identify the attributes of SCM that will create the most
risk and reward respectively. Out team can then assist in
designing an implementation plan and coordinate all of the deliverables
associated with the enterprise effort. Additionally, AMS can
custom design training to help each area of the organization understand
the SCM concepts and prepare for the shift in operations.
